Pros

This is not a recommended company at any stage of ones Career. So no pros to be shared.

Cons

1. Worst management No employee growth 2. No Work life balance for employees. 3. Pay is less as compared to work. 4. If you are looking for growth in your Career. Please DO NOT JOIN this company. 5. Too much politics especially in India. 6. They say it is a product based when hiring but the culture is worst than service-based companies. 7. Most of the perks they write/tell people at the time of joining have too many terms and conditions. 8. Their leave policy is pathetic and only higher management has flexibility.

Thanks for the feedback. We are happy that you like the growth and learning opportunities provided by Kickdrum. We acknowledge your feedback about workload balance. In a competitive atmosphere like Kickdrum, work can sometimes seem overwhelming but your mentors and leaders are there to help you strike a balance. As an organization, we have established meetings-free Fridays, Friday games, and a hybrid work model.
